What about the Kahuku vs Waianae JV game?
Will the D2 games be televised?
Farrington 2-7 record makes it to the playoffs..Unreal.
What a format…
Why is the OIA schedule the JV 1 vs 3 and 2 vs 4. Shouldn’t it have been 1 vs 4, and 2 vs 3.
Looking at the records of some on the teams in these playoffs, how telling is that. It’s embarrassing when (2 – 7) , (4 – 5) , and (4 – 6) teams are involved.
Can’t wait for open games but dread Hernandez as analyst. He’s always so biased against the weaker teams. He’s quick to point out bad plays and fast to defend the better team’s mistakes. If he were such an expert, all those good players would have stayed at Kapolei.
Let’s go Big Red! It’s playoff time!!!
Yes Go Big Red!!!, and Waialua coaches please give it to your playmakers. It’s playoff time for cryin out loud!!!!
